Call for Volunteers for Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team

Dear members,

This is a call for volunteers from the membership to join the Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team for the May 2025 General Meeting election.

The Executive Board election of 2025 will be the fifth to have a Code of Conduct (CoC) for Executive Board Election candidates. This is separate from the RIPE NCC Code of Conduct and RIPE community CoC. This code only applies to confirmed candidates during the election process.

The Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team will evaluate reports of violations of the CoC and if a violation has occurred.

The team for 2024 was made up of five volunteers and the Executive Board would like to express thanks to Cynthia Revström, Sebastian Becker, Nick Hilliard, Dr. Omid Mahdi Ebadati and Arnold Nipper who carried out this important work.

The Executive Board would now like to ask for volunteers from the membership to be on the Executive Board Election Code of Conduct Team for the May 2025 election. The task of this team will be to evaluate any reports of violations of the election Code of Conduct by candidates. If the team confirms that a violation of the election Code of Conduct has taken place, disqualification of the candidate in question can take place.

If you are willing to participate in this role, please send an email to: agm@ripe.net by *Wednesday 12 February 2025*.

The Board will then appoint members of the team from the list of volunteers. Members should not volunteer if they expect to become candidates in the election.

RIPE NCC Executive Board Chair
